Turmeric Chicken Rice Bake

Who else likes recipes that involve hardly any dishes to wash?
While I could say that the teens are doing them, it inevitably ends up in a squabble so the
less mess the less time for arguments.
This
This chicken rice bake from Campbells Real Stock is family friendly and full of flavour.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced).

and the chicken cooked through.
